Fair Play to Ziggy Marley Fitzpatrick
Who couldn't fall in love with little Ziggy. Cute and
fiesty with needle-like baby teeth, Ziggy's presence
was scattered all over the frontyard and decks of the
Lodge. Everyone could tell there was a new puppy
about. As most puppies do, he loved all the attention
you'd willingly give plus ask for a little more.Ziggy was
in his terrible chews, chewing everything he could
find including your extended welcoming hand. He was
growing both in body and character and seem
genuinely interested in growing up to be a farm dog.
With our shewolf Loba as mentor, Ziggy was learning the ropes of a dog's life at Fitzpatrick Winery & Lodge. Loba in her younger years grew up next door at the Xmas tree farm of the Hick's and became best of friends with our golden retriever Corky. When the Hicks sold and moved to a beach town in Oregon, Loba didn't want to leave and moved in with us up the hill. Being part wolf, Loba was a wanderer and made the rounds of her turf everyday and mostly at night. Well with Corky passed on, Reba (the German short-hair) living in Sac with Hank, Loba really took to little Ziggy with a motherly affection and watchful eye. But Ziggy's curiosity grew as clumsily as his feet and he began to venture out away from his cozy bed at the Lodge a little more each day to explore the farm with Loba. Days before our family vacation, preparations were made for Ziggy with a collar and tag printed with Ziggy Marley Fitzpatrick with two cell phone numbers just in case he peeked outside the perimeter of our fenced 40 acres when we were gone. A chain was purchased too just in case he had to be restrained. The day we left for the airport, little did we know would be our last with little Ziggy. Hit by a car just behind us on Myrick Road Ziggy laid dead until Dennis went searching. Nobody cared to call the numbers on the tag. Worst things certainly do happen but the lost of a loved one, human or not, is an unwelcome emotion that's left to the living. What can I say, we'll miss you Ziggy but never forget you. |

I can not tell a lie!
I bet some of you thought I was going to ramble on
about King George. No No I was just thinking about
Presidents' Day coming and the thought of cherry pie
popped into my hungry head. Then came rushing in
the song with cherry wine. Okay stop. I cannot tell a
lie. I was brainstorming trying to creatively promote
our wine for Presidents weekend.
And when I think of cherries, those dark black cherries, I think of our incredible Syrahs. Loaded with dark black cherry character and that's no lie. So I'm going to put together for your enjoyment a retrospective with a vertical tasting of our incredible Syrahs, winners of Golds, Silvers, Bronzes and Best of Shows including the Zachary Jacques Award for the best wine in the annual Rhone wine competition. So don't miss that spectacular and historical retrospective on some of Fair Play's greatest Syrahs, Saturday, Sunday and Monday 18,19 & 20th during tasting room hours. A limited number of cases will be re-released for sale. |
